Grapevine native and rapper Post Malone's private plane made an emergency landing at an airport in New York Tuesday afternoon.

The Associated Press reported that the plane's tires blew off during takeoff at the New Jersey airport at around 10:50 a.m. The plane circled the airport for about 30 minutes before the plane was diverted to New York Stewart International Airport in Newburgh.

The plane was originally supposed to land in Westfield, Massachuestts.

Malone and 15 others were leaving for London after attending the MTV VMA Awards in New York Monday night.

Suran Wijayawardana, Chief Operating Officer of private aviation company Alerion Aviation, said there could be many reasons why the tires blew, including debris, faulty brakes or high temperatures.

"So far, as it sounds, the crew is following protocol and doing the right thing, the most critical being the decision to continue the takeoff and not try and brake abruptly," he said. "By leaving the gear down and burning off fuel, they are clearly following the best procedures and safety protocols."
